Stevenson’s army, September 7

What better proof that the US is far from a socialist country than the fact that we celebrate labor day, honoring workers and unions, in September, while much of the rest of the world does it on May 1st. Since I like to remind you of the availability of CRS reports on many topics, see this on the evolution of federal holidays.
[There’s other good stuff there, such as these short reports on export control reforms and China and coup-related restrictions on US foreign aid.]

Rosa Brooks reports on the election  wargames she helped run that warn of enormous public unrest.
WaPo notes that the new 117th Congress will have freshman members from the political extremes of both parties.
Legal analyst disagrees with DOD IG report saying  border deployments did not violate Posse comitatus act.

My SAIS colleague Charlie Stevenson distributes this almost daily news digest of foreign/defense/national security policy to “Stevenson’s army” via Googlegroups. I plan to republish here. To get Stevenson’s army by email, send a blank email (no subject or text in the body) to stevensons-army+subscribe@googlegroups.com. You’ll get an email confirming your join request. Click “Join This Group” and follow the instructions to join. Once you have joined, you can adjust your email delivery preferences (if you want every email or a digest of the emails).
